A group of hikers saw her fall and stopped to help. The group was medically trained, Berzinski said.

"My friends and I were hiking, and we were kind of chilling out on the rock, and we started hearing someone scream for help," said Traci Vandeventer, a paramedic student. "I did an assessment, and I do what I was trained to do in school, and she seemed like she was pretty lucky considering the fall."

The girl is expected to be OK.

"It was a very fortunate day for her everyone was there to help her," said physicians assistant, Roger Diaz, part of the group that stopped to help.

Surry County EMS Director John Shelton said accidents have occurred in the same area in the past.

"This area that she fell in is customarily a location that we’re at most times up here with falls," he said. "It's a very rocky location, lots of slippery terrain. We’ve had some very serious falls there, fatalities and a lot of serious injury as a result of falling on that rocky ledge."
